” Yes, the Steelers are a team no one in the AFC wants to face in the first round of the playoffs.” – The Herald Standard (Charlotte)

“With five victories in six games, the Steelers (7-7) have the look of a team that could be very dangerous in the postseason. Their defense is playing at a championship-like level with one touchdown allowed in three games. Their running game is peaking with Willie Parker gaining 355 yards in his last two games.” – Associated Press

“It may be too late, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are finally playing like last season's Super Bowl team.” – NFL.com

“First Pittsburgh's fans took over Carolina's stadium. Then the Steelers manhandled the Panthers to all but end their playoff hopes.” – WLTX.com (Columbia, SC)

'We allowed a team to come in here that's playing for nothing and ruin our season for us” – Keyshawn Johnson

“The playoff picture in the AFC is simply mind-boggling. The Steelers are still in it, even though they rank 12th out of 16 AFC teams in the standings.” - WPXI

Yes after our win yesterday, all of the sudden we're being talked about again on NFL network. All of the sudden ESPN thinks we have a shot and we're a good team again !

Well screw it, I liked it better when nobody mentioned us but so what...we're on a mission now with a collision course set for Heinz this sunday with the Ratbirds. We just have to keep winning !!

Yeah--out of all the 7-7 teams, he mentioned the Jets (I think) and the Steelers in particular. Of course, everyone else made fun of him.

I do believe they were laughing at us last year too...

That one pisses me off. Even if we have dug ourselves too deep, we still have pride and our guys won't just lay down. Maybe the Panthers overlooked us a little and figured we would just give up and hand them the game. Well guess what...we're not!!!! You ruined you're season, Keyshawn...don't ever take the Steelers lightly!

The Cleveland Media is getting very pissy about us making a strong run and statement for the playoffs.

Mary Kay Cabot, NewsChannel 5, "The Steelers are making a strong case to run to the postseason which in many reasons, is making Browns fans red with envy."

John Telich and Tony Rizzo, Fox 8 News Tag Team Sports, "Our Neighbors down the interstate, our rivals are making a name and a case for themselves after beating down the Panthers of Carolina. They are finally coming together and becoming dangerous. Now I am getting steamed here."

Jim Donovan, Channel 3 News Sports, "The Browns are officially out of the playoffs, but can you believe the Steelers, our rivals down the pike, can make a run at this. They are becoming red hot at the perfect time, but could it be too late?"

Everybody is talking about the Steelers right now in the media! The defense has only given up what 13 points the last 3 games... if they do make the playoffs I feel sorry for the team they play in the first round! :cope:
